"C'mon, Just Praise Me For Living, Please!" lyrics

"C'mon, Just Praise Me For Living, Please!"

Can I just live an easy life?
Why can't I simply laugh at all the stupid little things?
How do I keep people by me?
Running around, these wishes repeat

Pain in the ass, yeah
Sick of the trash, man
Probably maladapted to this life
Do you think?
Heard that a surgery might help
So I can feel that happy feeling

And yet, I'm breathing still today
Waiting for a sign
Telling me I'm worthy of love
Still, I couldn't help
Hating who I am
And holding out both hands
Know that I've gotta learn to
Adore me more
Telling myself I'm enough

Aah, pat my head, I did no wrong, gave it my all
C'mon, can someone just commend me for
Living this long?
Self-esteem is shattered
Say it's all a fad
Or that I'm trying to brag

Just stop, no more "there there"
As if you care
C'mon, I've tried to stay alive, but I'm so goddamn tired
After it all
No more please
You're all amazing
Although the flattery is fake and life is bad
That's the truth, huh?

Can I stop hurting all the time?
When can I live without attacks?
Live without the pain?
I wanna say "Sure, I'm fine"
But why is it so hard every day?
God, no way

"Assert yourself"
I'm sorry, but that luxury is just too much for me
Hate me if you wanna, but don't sell me anything
I don't need you preaching to me

But y'know, as the loneliness
Seeps into my chest
Easily, I give into them
Again, I don't believe
We should be alive
So, spare me contrarian
I'm over-caring with this
Wasted patience
Pitiful until the end

Aah, can't you see?
You're all so mean, so great to see
Never to see the true intentions hidden right beneath
Try with all your might
Not to lose the fight
Protect your identity

But y'know, it's so crazy
How we all believe
That we're more charming, more endearing
That's what we keep saying after it all
(Isn't that just the truth?)

Aah, pat your back
I'll say you gave it your all
So go and vomit out the things you've hated for so long
Self-esteem degrading
But your "self" is saying
"Oh, please don't lose who I am"

You're fine, I'll say "There there
You did your share"
Tomorrow, you will be alive and that's enough for me
Now you're aware
You've done well
You're all amazing
Although the flattery is fake and life is bad
That's the default
So we should praise eachother living for this long
After all?

Though, in the end, this good for nothing head
Is oh-so intricate
Let us give ourselves a dose of daily self-love
(You made it through another day!)
